Yankee Stadium [II]

[ipitch]

A 14-run inning? Holy Shnikies!

And there is NO WAY to fix the right field wall. That's it.

Don't even talk about the game right now. All of you.

Let's talk about the stadium. Anybody have nice pictures?

[80SHOCK]

I wonder if the Yankees knew that the ball would carry the way it is would they have made it 314 down the RF line?
I'm not sure why the Yankees wanted to make the demensions the same as RYS. I would have gone in a different direction.

Well, the stadium is effecting the game. There has been 2 maybe 4 fly outs that went over the wall.

The whole point is that the dimension are NOT the same as RYS. RYS was 359 to right field. This place is only 350 AND has a shorter wall. Why they decided to shorten the already cozy RF dimensions when all along they said they weren't is a mystery.

Anyone?

Haha. I agree.

I posted some ideas on the last thread, but they seemed to be ignored.

Is that kid anyone in particular, or just a random kid? In any case, Babe should be teaching him to bat the other way.

Before I get killed, Rob liked to point out how empty Citi Field was in the premium seats, it was the same at NYS. BOTH teams are going to have to rethink ticket prices, this is absurd.

One word: Plexiglass.

Have the Yankees built in any space in the OF? It looks like its going to be a bandbox.

On 4/4/2009

NYS is going to be a bandbox - worse than CBP. Book it.

[baseballman1243]

In center and left, the field plays normal. It's right that's the problem.

I don't know. Choo hit what seemed like a popup in the 2nd inning, and it carried over the wall into the visiting bullpen.

Maybe it was a fluke with the wind, but off the bat it seemed like nothing more than a routine popup.

You're either delusional or just being disingenuous. You continually attribute things to me that just aren't true. Very weird. Maybe you're just confused...........or more than likely, here just to stir things up.

Have anything constructive to say in this thread other than throw digs and "lols"? At least I have had some discussion about Citi in the Citi thread without knocking it or anyone.

Saying they need to lower ticket prices is not constructive? It's true whether you like it or not. You can wear your Yankee colored sunglasses as much as you want, but NEITHER team built a perfect stadium. And on the edit way to change your post to ..... like usual.
Here is your litte chime in in the Citi thread...

So I agreed with the original poster over something that was obvious? Was that a dig or comparison to NYS as you disingenously tried to make it out to be?

You seemingly have nothing better to do than try to stir things up here. Thanks for paying a visit, coincidentally during a blowout, to make comments. We appreciate it!

And FYI, I've criticized NYS plenty of times....Do you do the same with Citi?

And I edited it (deleted it), because I decided you weren't worth my time...

[curb my enthusiasm]

I'd like to see some good pictures of the concourses. I take it the great hall is separate from the seating area concourse?

The Great Hall is on the same level as the field level concourse. There were tons of people hanging out there during the exhibitions games. I'm not sure what it's like during a real game, though, although all of the concessions and stores remain open.

What exactly are the cushions of the fancy chairs made out of? I think I read in one article that they were leather, but that seems like it'd be too expensive (and prone to damage). I've always assumed based on the pictures that it was some sort of waterproof vinyl-mesh material.

You edited it because you tend to act like a total coward. And no I am not trying to stir anything up, I am pointing out something. Most Yankee fans would agree ticket prices are too high in the premium seats. And Citi does obviously have its flaws, I said it was a problem with BOTH parks not JUST Yankee Stadium

Your coming here had nothing to do with ticket prices. You tend to act like the coward, not me...and a disingenuous one to boot.

And if I were you. I'd read more carefully and/or slowly, because I've noticed that your responses to other posters (not only me) is either a non- sequitur or lacks comprehension on your part. Sometimes you're totally on another stratosphere

You are a troll,classless and I have zero respect for you as a poster as most Met fans do but whatever you're now on my ignore list. For the other Yankee fans I have some pictures I took during the exhibition(enjoyed the place alot got a seat upgrade for free since they screwed up overall a great experience and a great park) I'll eventually post.

[dpcv8]

So when do they raise that right field fence?

If you're a LHH you have games played at Yankee Stadium circled in red on your schedule.

Even the Indians manager said that some of those home runs he thought were nothing more then routine pop flys.

[Cool Papa B.]

Here's the pictures I promised. Sorry for the picture quality. I took them using my blackberry!!!
